A judge has dismissed most claims in a lawsuit against the city of san jose filed by some supporters of republican president ial nominee donald trump. Back in june, a few protestors attacked some Trump Supporters who had just left a rally at Mcenery Convention center downtown. The lawsuit filed on behalf of more than a dozen Trump Supporters said the city did not do enough to protect them. A federal judge dismissed three of the four claims but let the claim of negligence stand. They knew that it was going to be a very large event, that there were going to be protestors, and that there might be violence. And unfortunately, the tactic that they chose there was seemingly to protect property and not humans. Mayor sam liccardo and police chief eddie garcia were targeted in the lawsuit. They call the claims absurd saying officers acted quickly to protect the public. Meanwhile, trump is trying to fight back against the recent accusations and articles about him. He says that the reports of him groping and assaulting women are lies. And its just a way for clinton and the Mainstream Media to stop his campaign. I never knew it would be this vile, this bad, that it would be this vicious. Trump wants the New York Times and People Magazine to retract the articles. The times responded saying, nothing in our article has had the slightest effect on trumps reputation. He has already created one for himself.
